112 THE TWENTIES The three principal female roles— those of the lovely women of Louis XIII's court— were admirably cast. Barbara La Marr, shown here in a tense scene with the star, was the Milady. Miss La Marr entered pictures after a career as dancer and musical-comedy actress. Her performance in The Three Musketeers started her on a course that included leads in The Prisoner of Zenda, The Eternal City, and Trifling Women. Her untimely death in 1926 cut short her successful career. BELOW The second role, that of Constance, was played by the distractingly pretty Marguerite De La Motte. She was one of Fairbanks' discoveries, also coming to pictures via the dancing route.
